MasterChef Australia takes a turn for the heartfelt this Monday, with a Mystery Box challenge guaranteed to make Nonna proud—or, at the very least, amused. Airing at 7:30 PM AEST on Network 10, the episode (Season 17, Episode 21) brings in the comedic duo Sooshi Mango to oversee a culinary showdown with family roots.
The remaining contestants must create dishes inspired by the flavors and traditions of their Nonnas—a concept that should yield a mix of comforting classics and potentially disastrous experiments. With immunity on the line, the pressure is on to impress both the judges and the guest hosts—which, given Sooshi Mango’s brand of humor, might involve more than just nailing the perfect pasta al dente.
“Back to Win””, the latest season of MasterChef Australia has leaned into the tried-and-true formula that made the show a success—a splash of international flair, a new crop of hopefuls, and challenges that run the gamut from haute cuisine to family comfort food.
MasterChef Australia airs Monday, 2 June at 7:30 PM AEST on Network 10.
